No weight loss and disheartened

Have NOT lost a pound! Really upset. Please help.As from 1/1/16 i have cut out all junk food ie choc/cakes etcI have been going on 2.5 mile power walks every night after work and longer at weekends.ExampleBreakfast - porridge with soya milkLunch - salad, boild egg, half avocadoSnacks - blueberries and around 10 raw cashewsDinner - chicken, brocolli, steamed mushrooms

I don't actually believe low carb works for everyone. I did it it last year. I got the science and threw myself into it and gained weight. I had no sugar for 4 months. Then I joined weight watchers and it's working . But hopefully this is just a blip and it will drop off you soon.

I Can ditch the canderel. Will try lots water. Would someone be so kind as to do a list of what to eat and not to eat.Sorry i know this probably been done before thank you.Or even put me on right track please.

If you're doing a lot of exercise you actually need the carbs! But they should be eaten in moderation with lots of protein and fibre. You may also be replacing fat with muscle so whilst not losing any weight - you will have toned up!

Did you mean to post in the low carb section, or was this a question about weight loss in general?

The reason I ask is being porridge isn't low carb (quite the opposite!) and - as people have pointed out - you're supposed to eat lots of fat when low carbing. You should definitely take a look at the Bootcamp threads

Pseudo - Thank you. I will look at the bootcampVague - I posted here to see where i was going wrong at what advice i could get. I was told porridge was fine. I will have to change that now. Was not sure where to post.

I am the same and going to ditch the diet and go with WW. My friend (who started at the same weight as me) has lost 9lbs in 2 weeks on WW and I have lost a grand total of 1.5 lbs in nearly three weeks of low carbing. I am in ketosis, drinking the water and playing by the rules but completely and utterly fed up with it. ENOUGH!!!

What diet are you actually trying to do?Low calorie - you may be ok, can't tell without knowing the portion sizes Low carb - you're completely missing the point with porridge and low fatYou may need a bit more research!

Might be worth a look? Not as strict as bootcamp in some ways - you can have fruit and carb rich veg such as sweet potato / butternut squash, but in other ways it is stricter - no dairy, no alcohol. Both have no grains.

I lost 8 kg in my first 30 days, asthma disappeared, and joint pain improved massively. 4 months on I have lost 16kg in total (2 1/2 stone).
